David Vila is Distinguished Professor of Religion and Philosophy at John Brown University, spoke of the role that archaeology has to play in the world beyond the excavation, conservation, and restoration of ancient ruins and artifacts. Both the connections that are made between excavation teams and the local communities around archaeological sites, as well as the lessons learned from the civilizations under excavation, can yield profound insights that are immediately relevant to our modern world. This presentation, which drew from his decades of work in Jordan, including at Abila of the Decapolis, considered how various facets of the work of an archaeological excavation can lay the groundwork for the promise of a better world.
